Ascension Impact LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Offers 1 service
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Owings, MD

Welcome! I'm Ashley, a senior day-of coordinator and travel advisor with over a decade of experience turning complex wedding visions into completely stress-free realities. You've already done the hard work of planning your day. My job is to protect it, so on the one day it matters most, you're not the one managing vendors or chasing a timeline. My goal is to handle the logistics, timelines, and vendor wrangling so you can stay fully present for your most impactful moments.

If we could give Ashley Young more than five stars, we absolutely would. Hiring Ashley as our Day-of Coordinator was one of the best decisions we made throughout our wedding planning process. From our very first conversation, it was clear that Ashley wasn't just interested in checking boxes—she genuinely wanted to understand us, our vision, and what mattered most to us as a couple. She is an incredible listener, a phenomenal communicator, and someone who truly cares about the people she serves. Our wedding journey was filled with unexpected challenges, none of which were Ashley's doing. Every setback could have easily turned into a disaster, but Ashley never allowed us to feel alone. Instead of focusing on the problems, she always came prepared with thoughtful solutions and practical alternatives. She guided us through every obstacle with grace, professionalism, and an unwavering sense of calm. Then came what most couples would consider their worst nightmare—we had to change our wedding venue the week of our wedding. While we were trying to process the emotions that came with such a major change, Ashley immediately went to work. She coordinated with vendors, reorganized logistics, adjusted timelines, answered countless questions, and reassured us every step of the way. She never made us feel like we were asking too much, and she never once allowed the stress of the situation to become ours. Her confidence and experience gave us confidence when we needed it most. When our wedding day finally arrived, everything came together more beautifully than we could have imagined. It wasn't just a beautiful wedding—it was exactly what we needed it to be. There were heartfelt moments that brought tears to our eyes, joyful celebrations that filled the room with laughter, and countless memories that we'll cherish for the rest of our lives. Because Ashley handled everything behind the scenes so flawlessly, my husband and I were able to be completely present with each other, our family, and our friends instead of worrying about logistics. One of Ashley's greatest strengths is her ability to remain calm under pressure. Even when unexpected situations arise, she approaches everything with confidence, kindness, and professionalism. That calm presence extends to everyone around her and creates an atmosphere where you can truly enjoy your wedding day. What makes Ashley exceptional, however, isn't just her organization or attention to detail—it's her heart. She genuinely celebrates with her couples. She becomes invested in their happiness and goes above and beyond because she truly loves what she does. You can feel that in every interaction. Ashley gave us so much more than coordination. She gave us peace of mind. She gave us confidence during one of the most stressful weeks of our lives. Most importantly, she gave us the freedom to fully experience one of the greatest days of our lives without worrying about everything happening behind the scenes. Ashley will forever hold a very special place in our hearts. She is no longer someone we hired for our wedding—she is family. To any couple considering Ashley: don't hesitate. Book her. Trust her. Listen to her. She will advocate for you, support you, celebrate with you, and make sure your wedding day is everything you've dreamed of—and maybe even more. Ashley, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping make our wedding day unforgettable. We will be forever grateful.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Felicia was truly a lifesaver. I was one of those brides who was convinced I could do everything myself. I'm very detail-oriented, I had already decided on all my floral décor, and I even baked for my own wedding. I genuinely thought I would enjoy planning it all. But let me tell you—the wedding industry can be brutal. For many vendors, your once-in-a-lifetime day is simply another business transaction. I can't even describe the amount of stress, frustration, and tears I went through dealing with some of them. I spoke with several wedding planners, but I chose Felicia because, from the very first conversation, I could tell she truly cared. This isn't just a job for her—it's her passion. She has the biggest heart, and when you're her bride, she protects you like a lioness protects her cub. She stands by your side relentlessly, fights for you, and genuinely wants your day to be everything you've dreamed of. Whenever I got stuck, she connected me with incredible vendors. Her recommendations and relationships are amazing, and she made what could have been an overwhelming experience genuinely fun. I honestly don't know how I would have managed without her. She is an absolute treasure, and I cannot recommend her enough. She was a blessing in every little detail, and there is far too much I could say in one post. Thank you, Felicia. You are truly amazing. ️

Sarah coordinated my wedding in Cancun and I want to thank her sooooo much! I'm an accountant and I own several businesses, so there were so many times Sarah had to stay on me to get stuff done. She stayed on top of deadlines, she made sure everyone had their room and flight booked, made sure everyone had transportation, worked hand in hand with my photographer and the wedding specialist at the resort. From the start of initial planning to the end of the reception, she literally ripped and ran to get stuff done!! She had the line-up in tact, the songs on point, she even went so far to make sure my dress was perfect for pictures that she FELL OFF THE PLATFORM and plunged into the pool!! NOW THATS DEDICATION!! Thanks so much Sarah. I am so thankful and don't know how I could've pulled this off without you. Thanks for not letting up on the resort and making sure my wedding turned out perfect !

I hired Johnnie to plan a baby shower for my best friend. She was so instrumental when it came to bringing my vision to reality and helped elevate my vision further with her ideas and resources. She was able to source everything that we needed, with a mix of cost-effective party elements and high-end party elements where it counted. She also is an extremely talented floral designer, so it was nice to not have to outsource another vendor for that. The day of, she was at the venue early to make sure everything was set-up perfectly, then broke down/cleaned up everything when we were done with the luncheon. Overall, she took a huge load off my shoulders when it came to everything that needed to be sourced and set-up for this event - I was very much able to enjoy the party and be a proper host, and didn't have to spend my nights and weekends with coordination leading up to the event.

From our very first conversation with Megan, we knew we wanted her to help plan out our Annapolis wedding. She was our day of coordinator so we started working with her consistently a little over 2 months out from our wedding day. She communicated with us every step of the way, was upfront about everything, and thought through details we didn't even know to consider. What really impressed us was how she let us decide how involved we wanted to be—we could get updates on all vendor communications or just a weekly summary, whatever worked best for us. Her fees are incredibly reasonable for the amount of work she puts in and the peace of mind she gave us - she is soooo thorough. I truly can’t emphasize enough how fantastic she is, both as a planner & person. On our wedding day, we could actually enjoy ourselves because Megan had everything handled so perfectly.

I am a wedding planner certified by the Wedding Planning Institute at George Mason University. I am based in Springfield, VA, and work throughout the DC, MD, and Loudoun County, VA. As a fun-loving, adventure-craving 20-something, I am also your girl for destination weddings at any spot on the globe! I discovered my passion for wedding planning while designing my own. I would get comments about how "on top of things" or "how organized," and I soon began receiving requests from other engaged couples. I quickly discovered the joy of creating that special day that people have been dreaming of their entire lives and, soon after, launched SWP.

We were so excited to work with Macy after meeting her and feeling right away how genuine, organized, and excited she was. She thought of all the little details we didn’t, stayed in contact with all of our vendors to keep everyone on the same page, answered all of our questions, and was so kind and encouraging through our wedding planning process and wedding day! We both felt such a sense of a relief to have her on our team because we knew how much she cared about us and our wedding and totally trusted her expertise to solve any last-minute issues that popped up. Knowing Macy was on it allowed us both to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our wedding day and we are forever thankful!

My daughter was married in September 2025, and since she lives in Australia while we are in the United States, planning her wedding initially felt impossible. The time difference and distance made it so difficult to coordinate, but thankfully, she and her fiancé found Lissa. From the very beginning, Lissa worked closely with them staying in constant communication, and offering thoughtful guidance every step of the way. As the mother of the bride, I cannot imagine how I would have managed without her support across two continents. Lissa gave us the reassurance that everything would be handled, and she delivered exactly that. On the wedding day, everything came together flawlessly, and it was truly perfect. Lissa’s tireless dedication, organization, and professionalism made all the difference. I highly recommend her, and trust me, you will not regret working with her. Lissa is, without question, exceptional.

Mari and her team were very professional, personable, and responsive. Throughout the whole process I knew Mari was only a text or email away to offer guidance, clarification (wedding vendors can be confusing sometimes), or even just to be a sound board for thoughts and ideas. It was also a really nice feeling to be able to trust her with everything on the day of our wedding so I could be present and enjoy the celebration. I hope to get to work with her in the future on other events. Rachel F (bride)
